I'm curious as to how you intend measuring it.
Plus, it's not adjustable so why would you bother?

Have you got the facility to clear out the 19? Doesn't happen often, but I have seen that code get stuck.

Only other thing is damage to the reluctor  :-\

Motronic 2.8.x ECUs are virtually bulletproof.  Check the connectors near battery tray, anf into ecu I suppose  :-\

Had a borescope in the crank sensor hole while turning engine over by hand reluctor looks all ok that's why I was wondering about the air gap just incase the sensor had been manufactured incorrectly.
